And I don’t think that makes a difference. All FAANG companies (which I’d say can also identify good engineers) already have engineering offices in India.
The results that Uber gets will depend on exactly how they execute. If they're serious about their goal to "shift engineering innovation to India", then it might be different from what the FAANGs have done.
In my experience working with the India team at (one of) the FAANGs, it seemed like they were offloading the work that people didn't want to do in SV to the Hyderabad office (e.g. testing, maintenance of legacy systems).
But it could also be the case that there are innovative things being built in these India offices that people just assume were built in the US.
